Second Muṇḍaka - 1st Section
This section describes the nature of the Lord, the nature of the souls, and how everything that exists is connected with Him. The soul shares the same spiritual qualities as the Supreme Lord, but when we become entangled in matter, these qualities are covered. The whole material creation serves as a huge cycle of sacrifices that help us recover this original spiritual nature, progressing upwards, but due to free will one may refuse to progress on this path and instead be degraded to the lower species of life.
